Casey, a 12-year MLB veteran and three-time all-star, is from Upper St. Clair.

He still lives there with his family and says being able to host this camp in his hometown is beyond rewarding.

He focuses a lot on character, having a positive attitude and enthusiasm.

“We think that’s what our camp is about, is teaching these kids the game, but also teaching these kids how to be great teammates, how to play the game right, how to play the game hard, respect each other, respect themselves, it’s a great thing all around,” said Casey.

The kids agree and say this will be a big highlight of their summer break.

This clinic is about more than just baseball, what you see out on the field.

Money from the camp will support the Miracle League of South Hills and the building of a new playground for children with special needs.
